1136. Brutal attack and defense
Galactic Republic, caught in the flames of war...
The battleships of Separatists are running rampant in the outer orbit of Coruscant...
The huge Galactic Senate is empty...
Jedi Temple fell apart in the fire...
Death, anger, sadness, despair... countless negative emotions are coming...
That's right, Galactic Republic and Jedi Order... will be destroyed!
A new order will come!
And I...
"General Krell, our vanguard has arrived at the airport and is exchanging fire with the defenders!" came the voice of clone Commander.
At this moment, it seemed that all the noise around him came back.
Gunshots, explosions, shouts, screams...
Pang-Krell suddenly opened his eyes, powerful the Force was circulating around, and even a visible light flashed in his eyes!
He didn't speak. He shook up his four arms and deployed two double-headed Lightsabers instantly. He jumped directly from the armored vehicle and spun rapidly in mid-air. All the firepower fired at him was bounced back!
The moment he landed, the two double-headed Lightsabers were swung as fast as windmills, rotating flexibly and alternately in his four arms, destroying all obstacles in their path as if they were overwhelming!
His steps were fast, passing through the battlefield like a gust of wind, and finally he stopped in front of a UMHC self-propelled artillery - two Lightsaber penetrated deeply into the cockpit of the self-propelled artillery, directly burning the driver inside to coke!
It was only then that the dozen Umbarians soldiers he had just passed by suddenly fell to the ground, and their bodies broke into two pieces.
"Launch an attack! Capture this airport at all costs!!" Pang-Krell said loudly with a gloomy face.
"Yes!" Clone Commander responded immediately.
Clone Trooper shouted and rushed towards the defensive position set up by Umbarians at the airport. Almost at the same time, countless plasma cannons, missiles, and rockets roared towards them!
boom! boom! boom!!!
Dense explosions continued to set off, and the powerful power blew Clone Trooper directly into the air more than ten meters high!
Umbarians has already deployed heavy troops to guard the airport and built a very strong defense line around the airport.
Machine guns, heavy artillery, rockets, plasma cannons... countless weapons were fired continuously, blocking almost every angle!
Clone Army only has a small number of AT-TE all-terrain tactical walkers, but as an alternative, they are equipped with a large number of AT-RT bipedal walkers.
However, AT-RT is, after all, just a platform that provides individual soldiers with machine gun-level firepower and better mobility. The driver is directly exposed. Therefore, compared to an ordinary soldier, the AT-RT has better mobility and stronger firepower. It is common for the driver to be shot in the head by the opponent's gun.
Because this thing itself is used for investigation...
But now, under the strict orders of Pang-Krell, they all went to the frontal battlefield!
Umbarians naturally will not show any mercy, and their armored units began to appear on the battlefield.
More than a dozen Umbarian Ghost Tanks vehicles with powerful firepower launched a counterattack directly towards the clone position!
Umbarian Ghost Tanks is a suspended tank. In the center of the tank is the spherical cockpit commonly used in Umbarians, which is covered with thick armor. Inside is a panoramic projection control system, and on both sides are blade-shaped heavy plasma launchers.
This kind of tank is more like a self-propelled artillery than a tank, and their frontal firepower is almost devastating!
A series of extremely powerful plasma ripples are launched, and each burst of explosion can almost annihilate targets within a radius of tens of meters!
The clone troopers suffered heavy losses and had to retreat temporarily.
But Pang-Krell didn't give them this chance at all. He directly replaced Commander, a clone who ordered the retreat, and asked the former Commander to go to the front line with a gun, and forced Clone Army to continue the attack!
After discussion, several other clones Commander ordered the rear artillery positions to continue covering artillery fire. After more than an hour of bombing, they launched another attack.
But this time, they did not rush directly to the front of the Umbarians position with strong firepower. Instead, they asked the AT-RT troops to take a detour from the side.
This time their strategy finally worked. Under the bombardment of Republic army AV-7 self-propelled artillery, Umbarians's armored forces began to move, but at this time they were suddenly attacked by AT-RT troops!
The AT-RT walker pilot directly controlled the walker over a hill with complex terrain, and attacked the flank of their armored force completely unexpectedly by Umbarians.
The clone Commander's battlefield response was very sharp. They immediately discovered that although the frontal firepower of Ghost Tank like Umbara was very powerful, the plasma ripples they fired had a large shooting dead angle at close range, and the shooting direction was fixed straight ahead, which was very inflexible.
Therefore, this flank attack directly dealt a fatal blow to Umbarians's armored forces!
The clone driver drove the AT-RT walker and jumped directly from the ridge, launching a fierce attack on the Umbarian Ghost Tanks whose steering was inflexible. The Maad-38 heavy laser cannon equipped on the AT-RT fired wildly at the sides of Ghost Tank. Clone Trooper also picked up a rocket launcher and fired rockets at these tanks.
Umbarians, who had several tanks destroyed, quickly retreated, and their frontal defense line also retreated.
Clone Trooper took the opportunity to launch an assault and occupied Umbarians's first line of defense outside the airport.
At the same time, the clone trooper 212th Attack Battalion was fighting bravely behind the airport.
Umbarians was preparing to transport supplies from this direction to reinforce the defense line in the direction of the airport. After being blocked, they launched a crazy attack on 212th Attack Battalion who was blocking the front.
212th Attack Battalion's Clone Trooper originally fought a fierce battle before landing, and now they have experienced such a fierce battle with almost no time to rest, and the casualties are also increasing.
Commander CC-2224 Cody personally went to the front line, and at the same time flexibly commanded the subordinate troops to use the terrain as much as possible to block the advance of the Umbarians troops.
Because the difference in strength between the two sides has exceeded 10 times, not to mention that Umbarians is very comfortable in such a dark environment. Compared to Clone Trooper, there is an even bigger gap.
Cody had to order his troops to retreat continuously, trading space for time, which made the progress of Umbarians's troops very slow, but it still allowed them to advance 7 or 8 kilometers.
However, at this time, a Clone Trooper ran over and said loudly, "Sir! There is a signal on my sensor!! Something ran under our ground!!"
